The one thing I never understood about breaking up the giants is how are the remaining components gonna compete. Bc “YouTube inc” would benefit alot from “Chrome inc” and “Android inc”. It’s not like when we broke up the oil giants into normal sized oil tycoons that compete against each other. These are completely unique businesses that just feed off of each other instead of taking from each other.

Unpopular opinion.

I’d like to have the choice not to “own” these kinds of things. I’ve felt this since I was young and I heard about the 3rd version of the iPhone. If these things get upgraded and get better every year and I’m “supposed to” upgrade every single time then it makes sense to just lease these things.

And now with electric cars being basically on the same upgrade schedule but half the speed, why would I own an electric car for 8 years when next year the new electric cars save like 10x more for me. It wouldn’t make sense.

Phones get an upgrade every year, and in 3 years your phone might become ‘invalid’ and you have to upgrade. So just borrow the phone from the maker and get an upgrade easier.

Unless you actually want to own your things, go for it! It’s a free market and you should be able to buy your phone in its entirety just like you could buy a car 10 years ago in its entirety. This choice should be easier is all I’m saying.

Can’t deny this website’s impact on the Internet. You will be missed.

To validate that a user is a person. The idea is to trust the phone companies that a person who happens to possess a phone number is actually a person.

danhab99,
@danhab99@programming.dev avatar

I never said it was a good solution. There is no way to trust any validation that a user on the Internet is a person. But this way is cheap easy and most people aren’t gonna go through the effort of masking their identities.

Also one discrepancy in an audit of a phone number trusted user base sticks out enough for cops to make some progress.

Devil’s advocate:

Have you guys ever considered that the information these companies are making off of you just isn’t that valuable? Your phone number, email, house address, skin color, sexuality, height, gender, fashion, job, and friends are not secrets. Anybody can know these things about you. We’re on the Internet and web-based companies want to interact with people, if you don’t like that go to a different website. But you’ll never have a privacy agnostic internet experience because PEOPLE KNOW THINGS ABOUT EACHOTHER. That’s one of the things about being people.

I remember reading somewhere (years ago, too lazy to find a source) that Google might take in $30/year off of a single Google user. That’s absolutely pennies, that’s not worth anything. Google only works because of their scale, and I bet a tiny drop in user activity of like 10% would destroy them. Most tech companies are just trying to make up more things to base promises on for their investors, those companies have no real value, they’re all basically theoretical. So who cares? Just use them while you need it and if they fizzle out then all the data they had on us is worthless if not gone and the opensource community will step up like it always does.

Are IDEs mostly bloatware?

Hi experienced devs , I am a beginner programmer. I mostly use code completion and go-to source , and rename function and objects, code-pretty. Other features not so much. What features do you use often And what features are not that useful in an IDE and can be considered bloat? P.S.- Which is that one feature that you can’t...

danhab99,
@danhab99@programming.dev avatar

IMO pure bloat.

I used to use VSCode and thats how I learned vim bindings. One time I tried running a 20char macro 1000 times. Easy work right? VSCode took a solid 120secs to do the macro. Why? What the hell was so difficult about what I asked for. So I took afew hours out of my day and configured VIM to work like VSCode. VSCode is objectivly superior in every regard, VIM just runs faster and the difference is noticable.

danhab99,
@danhab99@programming.dev avatar

Actually the vim emulator was what broke me. In reality VS code was extremely slow with basic key bindings. It will take a good 10 to 30 seconds to start up, and the worst of it all is that I couldn’t open multiple windows, I had to jump between tabs.

GUI softwares try to make your life easier by being opinionated. The belief is that if you know how to use your VS code you can use any VS code. Which is fine if you agree with the opinions. The thing I learned when I tore out my entire Microsoft development stack is that I can have my own opinions about my workflow. And my opinions are faster and more intuitive than Microsoft’s.

As an aside, you probably don’t need a static union type for your min and max functions. I assume you could use comparable.

comparible only allows ==

danhab99,
@danhab99@programming.dev avatar

I just looked at the standard docs and I didn’t realize there was a built-in min and max function. Y’all should really read the standard lib docs… it’s fascinating in there.

Bookshelf speakers sound worse on linux

I have a budget PC and edifier r1280t bookshelf speakers. From day 1 of building my PC about 6 months ago, I was using fedora. I also have a MacBook pro and soon I realised that the speakers sound much better when connected to MacBook pro. I always thought maybe my motherboard dac is not good enough to drive these speakers. But...

danhab99,
@danhab99@programming.dev avatar

I had problems with my bookshelf because when I switch to Linux too.

I had static, audio drop off, volume issues, bad quality.

If you want good sound off of Linux then you have to develop a deep intimate understanding of pulse audio and ALSA. It’s very hard to share the problems that you’re having with audio on web forums, so there’s not much help you can get here. I spent good month or two kicking pulse audio until it worked, you might have to go through the same.

I tried to Google my way out of pay 340 and wait 5 months. Ended up spending 500 and a few days wait.

Wish there were cheaper alternatives
